    DISH -VS- VOOM - A Settlement has been reached!

    One of the posts said that the 20% stake that Dish had in Voom was returned to AMC/Cablevision. If this is true it would be interesting to know what the value of that is on the current market. Was the 20% only in Voom or did it include a portion of the parent companies?

    Why do you keep assuming that these thing are being said in front of the jury? There are many discussions that take place without the jury being present.

    DISH -VS- VOOM - A Settlement has been reached!

    At this point the emails have been recovered so it will be very easy to determine what was discussed in them. FWIW, people with access seem to be of the opinion that they are very damaging to Dish's case.

    If this were the issue then the emails where they discussed what constituted "customary overhead" would have been evidence in their favor and they wouldn't have destroyed them.

    DISH -VS- VOOM - A Settlement has been reached!

    Dish lost me as a customer when they dropped the Voom channels. Since then I've been getting HD locals off the air and streaming stuff from Netflix. I recently added Amazon Prime (mostly for shipping) to give me more options. I figure if I want to watch more recent stuff I can rent a lot of...

    If anyone needs an eastern arc dish in the Indy area I've got one I can let go very reasonably. Mario

    I think I was the other customer who watched the Smithsonian Channel.

    And I certainly don't rule out returning to satellite or cable service if one of them offer a package that I would watch.

    Unplugged Dish today

    Yeah, whatever. I should have known you'd go into VOOM attack mode at the mere mention of it. Have fun paying for programming and then skipping over the commercials.

    Unplugged Dish today

    Where, exactly, did I ever blame Dish for commercials? I do blame them for changing the channel lineup with no notice.

    Unplugged Dish today

    Since so many other people have posted their "I'm leaving" messages I figured I'd do the same. Today I called and had Dish disconnected. I didn't do it because of poor service - the service I've gotten has always been very good - I did it because I found myself watching it less and less since...

    Christmas was actually a Pagan holiday that was hijacked by the Christians.

    I've never worried about holidays in my jobs. I take days off when I want them, not when the government decides I should want them. Mario

    Absolute and Sci Fi Channel

    Sci-Fi was once my most watched channel now it has been so bastardized with wrestling, ghost hunters, James Bond and other non-science fiction crap that it's hard to find anything to watch. Also, the ratio of program to commercial time is outrageous... But, in answer to your question, I have...

    What Channels Could you not live without...

    For me it was the Voom channels. Since they have been removed the only thing keeping me with Dish is the remainder of a contract that runs out soon. Once the contract runs out I'll be canceling Dish in favor of OTA and the internet. Mario

    New MGM-HD Channel?

    Mirrored = Showing the same thing at the same time. If it shows the same programs in a different order then it is not a mirrored channel.

    What really happened to AMC-14?

    That would be my guess. Mario
